Ok, this IS surprising. I expected something like Tchikovsky or Beethoven or... or Grieg! I have to confess I didn't even know Gershwin composed piano concerto!
Wow! I really can't wait to see these!!
It's not carmen!!!
Concerto in F is actually what is commonly called Rhapsody in Blue.
No, they are two different pieces: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concerto_in_F_(Gershwin)
I think it's great skating music!Concerto in F is a composition by George Gershwin for solo piano and orchestra which is closer in form to a traditional concerto than the earlier jazz-influenced Rhapsody in Blue. It was written in 1925 on a commission from the conductor and director Walter Damrosch.
...
The concerto is in the traditional three movements:
Allegro
Adagio - Andante con moto
Allegro agitato

Are you sure...? I tried Concerto in F in youtube and yes, there were some similarities(probably because both were composed by Gershwin) but they were very different.
That is so funny! Evan and Yu-na really did switch music. Maybe she will wear a tux and he will wear a red sequined outfit
In all seriousness, I think that is great music for her, surprising because I thought she would be doing something more dramatic,like Mao's Freeskate and Gershwin has such a light side.
I am trying not to say anything mean until I hear the cuts for her short, but really? 007? That is so Brian Joubert trying to be macho. Not lovely, elegant, graceful sexy yu-na. Please say it is not this:

I can hardly describe how much I was surprised when I heard about this music.
I guess, no one expected this...

As I know, that won't be any specific theme in particular, but some composition of various themes from different movies. That has to be dynamic somehow, as much, as the Danse Macabre was.I am trying not to say anything mean until I hear the cuts for her short, but really? 007?

Who would have guess her choice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very rare peice of music for Olympic season.
I think Orser and Wilson determined to make very original choice. I think 007 is a great choice.
LOVE them!
Well obviously I blew that call! ROFL. I had a friend give me that info, but it was one of several selections on a Gershwin CD entitled "Rhapsody in Blue" so after listening to several versions of Concerto in F on YouTube, I recognize the piece. Emily Hughes used it at 2005 nationals.
I think Yu-Na's music is a nice surprise, especially since I was expecting (and dreading) Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2.
I'm quite looking forward to the sensual James Bond medley.
I had expected something more feminine, ice-princess music, like her LP last season. But it seems a lot more interesting than typical music like Miss Saigon.
I guess Wilson wanted to make very unique, artistic pieces with more contemporary twists. The TAT team is very classical so that it may be a nice contrast. I only hope that it wouldn't be too difficult as Jeff's original LP for the Olympic season.
